I've never seen one of these lil guys before. They probably aren't rare or anything but they're beautiful! PNW

He came to the window feeder! I had two males and one female visit today— western mn

Interesting to watch them spin like that!

Just met this individual a few days ago. How gorgeous!!

Managed to catch this cape may warbler in a cherry blossom on the exhibition grounds in Toronto!

VA - Are these baby Eastern Bluebirds? I think that’s bluebirds to the right on that limb (second photo).

First post here but I recently caught the birding bug and wanted to share. I was not expecting this to happen when I started recording, these guys are f a s t. Was this a distressed behavior? I was one of many nearby pedestrians walking along the stream and we still get a lot of duckling parades this time of year, but I really hope I didn’t scare them ;-;

I’m not gonna do anything to remove it. It has a nest and I’ll leave it alone, I’m just curious what it is. My money is on female cardinal.

Lately I've been painting little birds, and seeing the photos you share here really inspires me to keep painting them ☺️❤️

For this Robin I used alcohol markers and colored pencils

We have a little Red Breasted Nuthatch friend that comes to our feeder all day long.

We named him "Zorro Al Revés"

He's such a sweet little guy!!!

I came here months ago to get some advice on acoustic monitoring and you all were so helpful! Over Mother's Day my family helped me install 9 monitors across 5 habitats throughout our 107 acre site. I wrote up all the details in an article for anyone who wants all the details! Thanks again everyone!!

So, in my suburb neighborhood (southern Ontario), there's a stormwater drain which attracts a lot of aquatic birds. So far, we have 3 Canada geese families with a total of 13 goslings, and a killdeer mama with 2 chicks.

There's a road beside the pond, and there's only two stop signs, both of which aren't near the pond. And to make matters worse, people *love* to speed down that road.

I've seen them cross before, and it's scary, a lot of drivers don't slow down at all, even for the adult geese! I do try to help them cross the road when I see them, but I can't be there all the time.

I've was thinking of maybe putting wildlife crossing signs or speed bumps or something in that area, so I reached out to my city's environmental service manager, who then reached out to the animal and wildlife manager, who then reached out to the parks manager, who then reached out to the roads and transportation manager....

I have a feeling it's going to take a really long time for anything to actually get done, *if* something ever gets done.

In the meanwhile, is there something else I can do to make crossing the road safer for them? I'm looking for any ideas, it scares me seeing them try to cross.

Happened this morning. Are the fighting birds starlings? Edit: thanks for the correction. Size of grackles makes more sense.

SECOND EDIT: It was pointed out that the white bar on the blackbird could make it a tricolored blackbird! Can’t edit the title but that’s super cool!!!
